Commander: Sorin of House Markov // Sorin, Ravenous Neonate

Bracket: 5

Deck overview

This is a high-powered Orzhov life-gain storm and aristocrats combo deck helmed by Sorin of House Markov // Sorin, Ravenous Neonate. The front face provides early lifelink and Extort pressure that naturally transforms him into a planeswalker once you clear the 3-life threshold, but the real engine lives entirely in the 99. Primary wins route through classic blood loops (Exquisite Blood + Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose / Bloodthirsty Conqueror), protected Ad Nauseam into Tendrils of Agony or Aetherflux Reservoir, and dense aristocrats drains with Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, and Marionette Apprentice. Fast mana, a deep tutor suite, and life-as-a-resource engines (Necropotence, Bolas's Citadel) let the deck assemble lethal lines by the mid-game while Extort and incidental drains keep the table under constant pressure.
